From October 2025 to February 2026, the exhibition “Humans, Robots!” organized by the Barkhausen Institut at the COSMO Science Forum brought current robotics research from Dresden to life for a broad audience. A total of 2,630 visitors took the opportunity to explore robots and interactive exhibits and engage in conversations with researchers.

The exhibition featured exhibits from nine partner institutions, including seven contributions from the Barkhausen Institut. It was complemented by an accompanying programme comprising 16 booked guided tours, 14 open drop-in tours, and seven events offering additional insights into robotics research and its applications.
